Karl Marx was born on May 5, 1818, in a place
called Trier in Prussia. Marx attended the
university of Bonn and later the university of
Berlin, where he studied law, while majoring in
history and philosophy. Karl Marx was married to
his childhood friend Jenny von Westphalen, in
1843. Karl met his closest friend Frederick Engels
in September of 1844, when he arrived in Paris.
Together they participated in the activities of
many revolutionary societies, and formed the
theory and ideas of revolutionary proletarian
socialism, also known as communism. Marx's health
declined due to his strenuous work with Frederick
Engels with the theory and the ideas of Communism.
On December 2, 1881, his lifelon ...

Prussia - 764 words
Prussia Analyze the military, political, and
social factors that account for the rise of
Prussia between 1640 and 1786. The rise of Prussia
between 1640 and 1786 occurred as a result of a
combination of military, political, and social
factors. War and the threat of war aided Frederick
William and Frederick William I greatly in their
attempts to build royal absolutism in Prussia. Due
to the wartime atmosphere, Frederick William and
Frederick William I were able to reduce the
political power of the landlord nobility, and
allow them to keep control over the peasantry. The
landlords, satisfied with being unchallenged
masters of their peasants, did not challenge the
monarchs power, which ultimate ...

The Austro-Prussian War -- Austria's War with
Prussia in 1866 The Austro-Prussian War --
Austria's War with Prussia in 1866 One nation. A
single, unified nation powerful enough to plunge
Europe and the world into two of the most
devastating wars in history. That is the legacy of
Germany. Two world wars are all we remember of a
unified Germany. But, we never remember the
struggle that took place to create such an entity.
As Geoffry Wawro covers well in this book, the
Austro-Prussian War was the turning point in
German history that allowed Prussia to become the
major figure in German affairs and start to unify
the German confederation under one power, ending
years of Austrian interference. Alt ...

The Germans had six panzer (armored) and four

one motorized brigade and a few tank battalions.
The Germans' 1600 aircraft were mostly of the

Smith Dr. Homer December 2, 1999 One of the most
interesting, hard-working and powerful people to
grace the pages of history during the eighteenth
century was Catherine II, Empress of Russia.
Historians have not always been so kind to her
memory, and all too often one reads accounts of
her private life, ignoring her many achievements.
The stories of her love affairs have been overly
misinterpreted and can be traced to a handful of
French writers in the years immediately after
Catherine's death, when Republican France was
fighting for its life against a coalition that
included Russia. Catheri ...

exported furs, leather and linens to China, and
imported cottons, silks, tobacco, silver and tea,

1765 three quarters of the Empress Elizabeth's
debt was repaid, and a budget deficit had been

Catherine The Great - 1,177 words
Catherine The Great Throughout history, Russia has
been viewed as a regressive cluster of barely
civilized people on the verge of barbarism. In the
eighteenth century, ideas of science and
secularism grasped hold of Europe, and Russian
Czars, realizing how behind Muscovite culture was,
sought out this knowledge, attempting to imbed it
into Russian society. Catherine II was one of
these Czars. She listened to both the ideas of the
philosophers and the problems of her people and
strove to enlighten Russia by codifying the laws,
establishing an elected government, funding
hospitals, and forming a functioning school board.
Her attempts, however, were met with only partial
success. Her reforms re ...

Communism is a concept or system of society in
which the community owns the major resources and
means of production rather than by individuals.
(Beers 670) Which means if that theory was true,
everything should be shared between people. That
also suggests that society wouldnt need a
government because this society would be without
rulers. However, communism also involves the
abolition of private property by a revolutionary
movement. In the early 19th century the idea of a
communist society was a response of the poor and
dislocated to the beginning of modern capitalism.
(Carr 28) At that time communism was the basis for
a number of Utopian settlements. Most Communistic

Effects On Economy:1850 To 1914 Effects on Trends
in Trade Policy from 1850-1914 The modernizing
world of 1850-1870 belonged to an age of
remarkable growth in international trade,
stimulating the largest free market the world had
ever seen. Yet by 1914, only 30 years later, the
trend towards liberal trade policies had mostly
ended, replaced by a revival of the protectionist
system. A study of the variation in trade policies
over time shows a remarkable growth in the power
of interest groups to influence the institutional
rules and regulations concerning international
economic intercourse. The initial major trend can
be partly attributed ternational conditions,

sector was predominant, and hence preferred lower
prices on manufactured good. Secondly, Prussia
wished to retain sole control over the Zollverein
and was fearful of an Austrian attempt to join.
Thus by liberalizing trade policy Prussia hoped to
deter a highly protectionist Austria from seeking
admittance. Spain, the Italian customs union, and
Russia all relaxed their highly protectionist laws
from 1850 onward as a result of the spectacular
economic success of Great Britain and the

Enlightened Despotism - 712 words
Enlightened Despotism Enlightened despots believed
that political change could best come from above;
from the ruler. However, they were encouraged by
the philosophers to make good laws to promote
human happiness. How did these monarchs differ
from earlier unenlightened monarchs of the past?
The difference lay in tempo. These new despots
acted abruptly and desired quicker results. They
were impatient with all that stood in the way of
their reforms. In addition, they justified their
authority on the grounds of usefulness, not divine
right. These new monarchs were rational and
reformist and they regarded political change as
possible and desirable. Frederick the Great,

France was an absolute monarchy. Louis XIV (1643
1715) was the envy of all other rulers in Europe.
During his reign he had centralized the government
and had encouraged trade and manufacture. His
undoing was the long list of over ambitious wars
that he had participated in. His successors Louis
XV (1715 74) and Louis XVI (1774 93) also
participated in lengthy and costly conflicts.
France had suffered defeat in the Seven Years War
against Britain (1756 63). Her army in Europe was
crushed by the Prussians. The involvement in the
American Revolution was for revenge against
Britain after the Seven Years War. A fatal
weakness in the French absolute monarchy system,
was its inability to produce ...
